mascots, as schools across the country have eschewed indigenous imagery for their school spirit.
On a unanimous vote, the board enacted the new policy that will require any public schools that have a Native American mascot to change it by the end of the 2024-2025 school year. Schools that wish to keep their mascot must receive approval from a Native American group.Mascots that must be changed include"warriors" or"raiders" unless they do not contain any Native American imagery.
In a series of tweets, the New York-based Oneida Indian Nation said it supported the board of regent's decision and said the tribe would not approve any requests from schools that wished to keep their Native American-themed mascot. “Native American organizations, civil rights groups, and public health organizations have made clear the damage that the mascotization of Native people has on our youth," the tribe said."Promoting inclusivity and mutual respect is the best way to unify our communities moving forward.”
